Luna – Hack your sleep

> SECURE AND PRIVATE

> Luna is completely secure and uses public key cryptography. Its security features include HTTPS, SSL, and 128-bit encryption.

What does a mattress need HTTPS for when it is private? Something does not add up there for me.

edit: Sorry, I missed the mobile phone controller etc. So I guess this does not phone home?

JT from Tuft & Needle here. I met with Andrea and the team last year. They are solid. The big difference with this tech is that it can actually impact the way you sleep as opposed to just reporting data points.

When you sleep badly you usually know it in the morning. A wristband telling me isn’t that useful. A tool that actually helps you fall asleep and stay asleep provides significantly more value.

Or it does using the above mechanisms.

It does, but no raw data are sent, most of the aggregation happens on the device. We upload sleep patterns, average values for some sensors (temp/humidity, ambient light) and major events (loud sound or quick change in ambient light). We use those data for historical data analysis on the server side.

The cloud service relays commands to the cover when your phone is not connected to your wifi too (you can warm up your bed while ubering back home on a cold night).

I know the founding team (3 out of 4 are Italians like me, all living in SF), and as a disclaimer, I am an early angel investor in the company.

I have tried the product in its alpha version, and have followed the progress thus far. I think that what Luna is trying to achieve is extremely important. In fact, I have decided to invest because I thought that improving someone's sleep is going to have a huge impact in his/her life.

I am not aware of any other product that is qualitatively similar to this. If there are, let me know :)

Good luck, guys!
